Make your Skibbereen home easier to heat

Cavity wall insulation significantly reduces heat loss in homes by filling the gap in external walls with an effective insulating material, which acts as a thermal barrier to keep warmth inside the building.

This barrier not only retains heat but also helps to create a more sealed building envelope, resulting in noticeably fewer draughts and cold spots throughout the property.

For homeowners in Skibbereen, Premier Insulations is an SEAI-registered installer, providing trusted cavity wall insulation services to the local area and its surrounding communities.

This upgrade fosters a consistently comfortable living environment while concurrently leading to lower energy consumption and reduced heating bills.

Is your home in Skibbereen suitable?

Our inspection of Skibbereen homes for cavity wall insulation begins with a thorough assessment of several key factors. We first measure the cavity width to ensure it meets the minimum requirement for effective insulation material installation. Concurrently, we conduct rigorous moisture and dampness checks to identify any pre-existing water ingress that must be remediated. Finally, we examine the condition of any existing wiring and evaluate the property's exposure to prevailing winds and rain, as these elements critically influence long-term performance and suitability.

The two primary cavity wall insulation systems are blown mineral fibre and injected foam. Blown mineral fibre, such as glass or rock wool, is a non-combustible material ideal for most standard cavities, providing excellent thermal and acoustic performance. Alternatively, polyurethane foam is injected as a liquid that expands to fill the cavity, forming a highly effective air-tight seal particularly beneficial for properties with irregular wall constructions.
